The 13th of September is officially known at World Chocolate Day and we have found some of the best spots in Cape Town to celebrate. If you do not have a sweet tooth, then do not fear, chocolate usually goes hand-in-hand with a great cup of coffee! So come and celebrate this day of Coffee Chocolate and Decadence with the Cape Town Big 6!

A wise person once said: “You cannot live on wine alone, add some chocolate!” The Chocolate and Wine Pairing at Groot Constantia is a heavenly experience which can be shared by sweethearts, as it is incredibly romantic; or as a basis for lengthy catch-up sessions with your best friends.

The Table Mountain Cafe offers a variety of freshly baked cakes and muffins and, we have it on good authority that their Milk Tart is one of the BEST! Once you have walked around a little bit at the top of the mountain, get yourself a creamy soft serve ice-cream and enjoy!

The V&A Waterfront is home to a wide variety of coffee shops, ice cream parlours, chocolatiers and bakeries. It’s the perfect place for those with a sweet tooth and you cannot visit the V & A Waterfront without having an ice cream cone.

Two Oceans Restaurant
The Two Oceans Restaurant occupies an enviable position above False Bay at the southwestern tip of Africa. The restaurant is as famous for its seafood cuisine as it is for a superb wooden deck that looks out onto one of the most stunning ocean views in South Africa.

While there are no restaurants on the Island, you can pack a picnic of your favourite treats to enjoy when you get there. However, there are a few amazing sweet spots at the Nelson Mandela Gateway, which is located near the Clock Tower in the V & A Waterfront.

Tribakery

A delicious range of breads, pastries and cakes are made fresh daily. All available as sit-down or takeaway.
